Ace of the Dragon Division - Chapter 318
Chapter 318: Who’s Young Master Zhang? Get Him to Come Out!
Xu Cheng led Bei Shan into Room 888, and found that there were 6 young men already in there, all about the same age as Hu Bing. The oldest was less than 24 years old, and Hu Bing was on the older side among them. Seeing Xu Cheng come in, Hu Bing directly walked over with a big smile and said, “Big Brother Cheng, you are here!”
He got closer to his side and lowered his voice, “You didn’t bring Sis-in-Law here with you?”
Xu Cheng looked at the people behind him and said, “She doesn’t like occasions like this. Are these friends of yours reliable?”
Hu Bing laughed. “Would I bring them out to you if they weren’t reliable?”
He turned around and gestured for them to come over. “Hey, bros, let me introduce you to my senior brother in the military, Xu Cheng. Call him Big Brother Cheng.”
The other 5 people all came over to shake hands with Xu Cheng and politely greeted, “Big Brother Cheng.”
“You don’t have to call brother, just call me Xu Cheng.” Xu Cheng wasn’t that close with these people, so he didn’t feel the need to be called big brother. He also didn’t like how most of these second gen rich heirs rolled. He respected those with actual skills, but if someone could only rely on their family’s resources and connections, then sorry, those people wouldn’t be able to be added to Xu Cheng’s friend list. So, if these 5 people were the latter type, it wouldn’t be a loss to not meet them.
These 5 people basically grew up with Hu Bing, and their tempers were about the same. They weren’t the kind of rich heirs that were always showing off, otherwise Hu Bing wouldn’t have been so close to them. Upon seeing how Xu Cheng reacted, those five weren’t surprised. After all, they all heard a lot about him already from Hu Bing, and they knew Xu Cheng was a bit arrogant.
“We are bros that grew up together with Hu Bing, and his bro is our bro. Big Brother Cheng, I’m Xiang Yang.”
“I’m Li Si.”
“My name is Yang Zhengbin.”
“Yang Hu.”
Hu Bing said, “Last time with the thing involving Sis-in-Law, it was Yang Hu that helped out.”
Xu Cheng shook hands with Yang Hu. “Thanks.”
“You are being too polite, Big Brother Cheng. In the future, if you need anything, just let me know. The entertainment circle is basically my backyard.” Yang Hu took out his business card and handed it to Xu Cheng.
Xu Cheng took a look after taking it. On there, there was no title, just a name and a phone number. From this detail, it seemed like he wasn’t the type that would use his title to bully others. Instead, he was indeed someone well-known in the city.
“Quit standing, let’s all go and sit down,” Hu Bing immediately dragged Xu Cheng to the seats.
He lit a cigarette for Xu Cheng, and this little detail shocked his friends a bit. Hu Bing rarely gave other people cigarettes or helped light one, and they had only seen him doing it for the elders in his family.
Xiang Yang leaned to Yang Hu and curiously asked, “You helped Big Brother Cheng out before?”
Yang Hu smiled and nodded, and he said in a low voice, “Remember the incident where a producer and Yan Xian wanted to casting-couch Lin Chuxue?”
Xiang Yang paused for a moment. “Could it be that Lin Chuxue is…”
“She should be Big Brother Cheng’s woman,” Yang Hu said.
Xiang Yang took a deep breath. “Incredible. That Lin Chuxue is famous for being independent and fierce in the entertainment circle… so it turns out that there was a man behind her, and it’s actually Big Brother Cheng?”
Hu Bing immediately said, “That day when we saw you fighting that guy in Britain, we were all shocked. Ye Xiu kept on telling me to give him a call when you come back.”
Xu Cheng took a sip of the cigarette. “Why is he looking for me?”
“He said he wants to send you a glory banner on behalf of the club.” Hu Bing grinned. “That one punch of yours that destroyed Kalan was first uploaded onto the club forum but then it began to spread like wildfire in the military forum, and then to the general media. That season of ‘True Men’ featuring you also aired at roughly the same time. Your name is trending now with over a million searches, and you are on so many headlines right now it’s crazy. You are officially famous now, I’m telling you.”
Xiang Yang added, “Yeah, I saw that show too. Big Brother Cheng, that move of yours where you turned your back against the target and still aced all the shots was just too cool. Also, when you threw Yan Xian across the air, people even initially thought he was being wired because it was just too unbelievable. All in all, Instructor Xu had became a trending topic, and your images in a few scenes in the show was also made into emojis and memes.”
Xu Cheng was quite confused. “Oh? So my face is basically famous now? Damn, I’m not prepared at all, didn’t I rise to fame too quickly and mysteriously? How come I don’t feel like I’m famous when I’m in public?”
Bei Shan was chewing on some steak as he couldn’t help but ridicule, “Because they edited your face before airing the show, whereas you are just ugly in real life so it’s normal for people to not recognize you.”
Xu Cheng: “Not even food can stuff your mouth? Do you want to come back with me again and try my wife’s cooking?”
Bei Shan: “I would rather kill myself.”
Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Hu Bing shouted, “Come in.”
The server walked in and asked, “I’m sorry, does the car with license plate S3**** belong to any one of you?”
Xu Cheng realized it was his after a few seconds. “Oh, it’s mine. What happened?”
The server awkwardly said, “There’s some trouble downstairs, could you come out with me and check?”
Xu Cheng nodded. “You guys eat first, I will go and check it out.”
Hu Bing and the others nodded. “Yeah, get back soon.”
Bei Shan: “Should I come with you?”
“No need,” Xu Cheng said and followed down with the waiter.
At this time, Xiang Yang came closer to Hu Bing and asked, “Isn’t that the one that came back with you at the airport? Be frank with me, what is his background?”
Hu Bing casually responded, “Nothing.”
He chewed a bite of food and then said to the other five guys, “Sometimes, if someone wants to respect you, it might not be because of the background but from the capabilities of himself. Although he doesn’t have any background, you don’t know how high his current prestige in the military is. You guys are only influential and powerful in this city, but he’s almighty across the whole country. You guys know about the special forces club, right? Those soldiers with big backgrounds all fully respect Big Brother Cheng, and that’s the kind of effect you get from someone that’s too powerful himself. The soldier population is quite united, and although Big Brother Cheng doesn’t look like he has any background, the moment he opens his mouth, I can promise more than half of the soldiers with powerful backgrounds will be willing to stir up some sh!t for him!”
Bei Shan ate as he listened to Hu Bing’s words, and he couldn’t help but mumble to himself, “Damn, I didn’t know this b@stard’s d0uch-level is through the chart, he’s got a pretty good following going already.”
After Xu Cheng went down stairs, he saw that sh!tbox he drove was crushed into a pile of junk.
The waiter stood there awkwardly and apologized, “Sir, i-i-it was Young Master Zhang. He couldn’t find a parking spot and he saw the Santana parked here so he ran into it to push it out of the spot.”
Xu Cheng: “Who’s Young Master Zhang?”
Waiter: “The young master of the Zhang Family.”
Xu Cheng was speechless with the waiter’s reply. “Go and get him!”
Waiter: “Uh-”
Xu Cheng deepened his voice, “Go and get him to come out!”
Waiter: “Yes, Sir!”
